Before moving the Engineered Wood Flooring into the room where it
will be installed, please ensure that:

· Painting and wallpapering are completed.· Plaster is dry.· Floor and wall tiles have
been installed for at least 3 weeks.· Windows are in place.· Radiators have been bled.· No re-humidification takes
place in the room where the floor will
be installed.

2.3 Acclimatising your Engineered Wood Flooring

Place the Engineered Wood Flooring cartons in the room at least 72
hours before installation.

Ensure a room temperature of about 18 degrees
and humidity of 35-60% before, during
and after installation.

In winter, particularly with low temperatures and dry air,
you may wish to use a humidifier.

2.4 Planning

In square rooms, lay the floor in the direction of incoming light.
In rectangular rooms, lay it length-wise.

The sub-floor should be dry, clean, firm and level (maximum unevenness
of 2 mm per linear meter).

The sub-floor's residual moisture should not exceed 3%.

4. Under-floor heating

Please make sure you follow the heating flooring instructions.

The moisture content of the sub-floor must not exceed 1.5% (cement)
or 0.3% (anhydrites).

Among other things, you should make sure that:
1. The heating has been on for at least
3 weeks before laying the floor.
2.
The sub-floor surface temperature does
not exceed 27 degrees.
3. The heating has been switched off for
at least 48 hours before laying the floor.
4.
8 days after laying the floor, the heating
is switched on and temperature gradually
increased (increasing 2-3 degrees
every 24 hours).

For installation on an under-floor heating system, the planks should
be glued down directly onto the sub-floor.
Additionally, the tongue and grooves should
also be glued together.

·When installing through several adjoining rooms, provide expansion
joints at every door's threshold.

·Start the
next row with the piece of plank remaining
from the previous row, as long as it is
long enough.

·Stagger the heads of adjacent planks in order to produce a pleasant
visual effect.

·When installing
the last plank in a row, turn the plank
180˚ and place it over the next-to-the-last
plank (tongue facing tongue); mark the last plank with a square and saw
it; install the last piece with the help
of a fitting bar; adjust a wedge between
the last plank and the adjacent wall.

·You may need to cut the last row of planks length-wise as it may
not fit exactly against the wall.

·Leave the wedges in place overnight and then take them out and cover
spaces as appropriate.

·Screw the skirting onto the adjacent wall.

·Make sure the room is well ventilated and free from any excess building
moisture.

If you decide to glue your Engineered
Wood Flooring, please use the services
of a professional parquet layer.

In case of oiled floors, once installation is complete, the installer should use a quality wood cleaner (e.g. WOCA, Klumpp, Treffert, Bona, etc.) to free the oiled flooring from any dust and dirt associated with installation; and then a quality maintenance oil (e.g. WOCA, Klumpp, Treffert, Bona, etc.) to make sure there is sufficient oil penetration into the wood.

[1]
PE sheets should overlap (about 20 cm)
or be tightly jointed to avoid vapour
leakages. PE sheets should be laid upward
on the walls so that any rising residual
moisture from the sub-floor can escape
along the sides.
